 :^1. Aplogompha laeta spec. nov. 



Forewing : bright yellow, with the brown streaks restricted to the costal

 fulvous ; a large yellow blotch before middle of hindmargin ; fringe fulvous with 

 grey tips ; the metallic spots as in lafai/i Dogn. 



Ilimhnng : wholly yellow ; a few brown striae on inner margin only ; the

 pale fulvous. 



Underside paler, with all the markings deep brown.

1 (? from Chanchamayo, Pern (Schunke). 



Smaller and much brighter than typical hifayi \ I have seen several other 

 examples, all from (!Lanchamayo ; if not a distinct species, it is, at least, a 

 jiersistent local form, differing as much iu one direction from laj'ni/i as oppletaria 

 Warr. (= tjerma Dogn.) does in the other. 



Cirrhosoma gen. nov. 



Forewing: triangular; costa straight; hindmargin straight, hardly oblique;

Palpi short, blunt ; antennae of i ciliated ; tongue and frenulum present ; 

 antepenultimate segment of abdomen with large lateral tufts of hair. 



Neuration : forewing, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular slightly 

 oUique, very fine ; first median nervule at two-thirds, second close before third ; 

 radials normal; 7, 8, 9, stalked; 10 and 11 coincident; hindwing, costal bent 

 dciwn and closely approximated to subcostal for half of cell, G and 7 divergent ;

The genus is allied to Berberoiles Gnen. and Bailantiophora Butler, but in 

 this case the abdomen, and not the wing, is tufted.
